24 décembre : Visite aux Baux-de-Provence
... tour aux Baux-de-Provence, où nous nous sommes mariés Sabine et moi il y a déjà 6 et demi. Le temps de ré-apprivoiser la conduite manuelle et de traverser St-Rémy-de-Provence puis les Alpilles et nous sommes rendus à destination.

Avignon is officially one of my favourite cities!
... and cart shaped bikes, hard to describe, but they had great fun riding them around the park for 10 minutes. We then decided it was time to head home, albeit reluctantly. We were sweaty, sticky and dusty- not appropriate for a meal out in such a chic city! We would highly recommend it for a couple wanting a romantic break in a beautiful city with stunning hotels and restaurants.
We got home around 8.30 and had a swift shower and tea in the garden. Bed early - shattered!
